Osiris

Osiris rifled through his bag, checking on all of the orders he had left to deliver today. Thankfully, he only had two left, Miss Lila's lemongrass and Mr. Mason's maca root. Both of them were not urgent in their need or even on the usual delivery rotation for today, but he had tossed them into his bag just in case he had enough time to stop by. Working as an herbalist was rewarding work but Osiris couldn't deny the fact that it was some of the hardest and most tedious work he had ever done. He was just thankful that he loved it.

"Ooooo she is pretty." Neith's voice called him back to reality and he swiveled around in time to see nothing more than a rustle of leaves within the bushes and the trees.

"Have you officially lost your mind, Neith? I always knew this day would come for you, my poor sweet fox." Osiris feigned despair before glancing over to her with a mischievous glint in his eyes. She met him with a glare of her own and he chuckled before picking his bag back up and settling it back around his shoulders. "There was no one there, you silly dear."

"You NEVER believe me. About anything!"

"Neith, love, you think the cupboards at home are trying to eat you..."

"Well they are! And I really did see a pretty lady just beyond those trees! She had something shiny in her hands."

Osiris shook his head and moved to pick up the fennic fox, cradling her to his chest before placing a gentle kiss upon one of her giant ears. "Okay Neith. I believe you. Now, shall we go deliver the last two things or should w-"

His words were abruptly cut off by the sound of some type of inhuman roar. If there really was a woman out there, she very well could be in danger!

He opened up his bag and dropped Neith inside with the herbs, before taking off at a run towards the sound. "Neith. You stay in this bag and you do not come out until I say so." He said softly as he ran into the small clearing.

Within the clearing, he could make out the small swamp like pool of water and the creature that had made it's way out from it. "Shit. A Bunnyip."

Neith cried out in terror at his words and he could feel the bag at his side begin to quiver. It was then that he could make out the creature's prey. Staring up at the creature with wide eyes was a strikingly beautiful woman. A woman who currently looked more like a deer in headlights.

Osiris gulped as he looked around him searching some type of weapon that he could use against the creature. Wait. He didn't need a weapon when there was plenty of magic at his disposal! Not to mention he had the very thing that Bunnyips were allergic to in his bag. Quickly, he cast out a hand, sending a mound of dirt between the woman and the creature. Hoping that the wall would buy him enough time, he reached into his bag and felt around the still shivering Neith. His hand closed around the tall slender bottle containing the lemongrass and he quickly made to pull it out, grabbing a few of the pieces to hold.

With a deep breath, Osiris ran towards them as the bunnyip used it tusks and flippers to tear down the wall. "Ma'am, you need to get to a safe place! This creature is dangerous!" He yelled as he came closer to the woman. He stood in front of her just as the dirt mound came crashing down. The bunnyip roared and made a move to lunge at him, but it was caught by a net of vines and held down where it stood. Taking a deep breath Osiris made a released the lemongrass in his hand, sending it flying towards the creature's face, before tying itself around it's nose.

The creature began to sneeze rather violently, rubbing it's face in the dirt to try and get rid of the lemongrass, but it held fast as though tied there by magic. (Which it most certainly was). The creature tried to turn and flee, but the vines held it tight. Watching as the creature struggled, Osiris finally released the hold the vines had upon it, ready to call them again if need be.

But instead, the creature took off running, still clawing at the lemongrass, in search of a new muddy pool to wallow in.

With a deep sigh of relief, Osiris ran a hand through his green locks and turned to find the woman. Oh! Right!

He rushed over to her, pausing a few steps in front of her. "Are you alright? Are you injured at all?"
